KILLEEN, Texas — Former Killeen city council member Melissa Brown has announced that she's planning to run for mayor of Killeen.

Brown is accusing Killeen Mayor, Debbie Nash-King, of special treatment at council meetings.

Brown served on the council for two years. She asked for a recount after making several claims, including complaints that the county did not properly train election workers.

She was elected to city council two years after she was arrested and accused by the mayor of being disruptive during a council meeting.

Brown tells 25 News; "Let's make this about 2024 — I am announcing that I am planning to run for mayor in 2024."

"The mayor extended the challenge. Challenge accepted."
